And had a handout with all the material we were covering and most all made
notes. I did this because I wanted interaction. I wanted to ask
questions as we went along and obtain audience participation. That happened and
was a very interactive program with almost all attendees participating.
Well, on the Evaluation forms, a number were clear that they felt something was
missing - the power point. Everyone expects a power point these days but
I feel that sometime a structured dialog is frequently more educational

Well thanks a lot Peter!! I just spent two months working on a PowerPoint
and now I find out they are referred to as "Hypnotizing Chickens"!
I am joking, everyone knows it takes more than two months to make a good
Powerpoint.
Powerpoints appeal to us because they are organized and nothing is left
out. In the old days you made an outline, gave your speech and hoped your
speech hit every point. The trouble is, it takes the "spontaneity" out of the
talk and refuses to let an audience go to areas of interest.
The audience tends to not interrupt and nothing draws them into the
presentation and thus boredom sets in. No one knows the topic like the person
creating the slides so much is glossed over and input is discouraged.
I think that having a few questions for the audience several times in the
presentation may wake up the Chickens, so to speak!
I think creating a written White Paper to accompany the presentation is
the only way to ensure that those really interested in what you say, can have
something to refer to and benefit from in the days following the
presentation.
Now onto my Slide #74, ..........
